If You Have Insurance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Your health plan can give you the most accurate price for medical services.<\/h3>\n

Minnesota law requires physicians, hospitals, and health plans to provide consumers with a good faith estimate of the cost of their care. Over 94 percent of Minnesotans have insurance, and that number is expected to increase as the Affordable Care Act is fully implemented. Because health insurers negotiate different payment rates for services with each health care provider, including hospitals, physicians, and clinics, the best way to compare prices you will pay is to contact your own insurance company. Your final out-of-pocket costs can be higher or lower than your neighbor\u2019s \u2014 even when you\u2019ve undergone the same procedure. That\u2019s because health insurance plan payments vary, and insurance plan benefit levels are unique to each plan \u2013 insurance companies sell policies with different levels of benefits to different employers and through MNsure, the state\u2019s health insurance exchange. Other factors that impact price may be complications or other health conditions you may have. Your insurance plan can tell you what the hospital\u2019s price will be for all your services as well as what your out-of-pocket, co-pay, and deductible will be.<\/p>\n
